GD trouble

tablex

Hi,

I was wondering, I'm trying to load a font (macropsi.ttf), but PHP claims it can't find it in the same directory, while it's absolutely there, now using the script below, I get these errors:

Warning: Could not find/open font in ...temp.php on line 6

Warning: imagepng: unable to open 'pic.png' for writing in ...temp.php on line 7

This is the test:

<?php

$im = imagecreate (50, 250);
$bgcolor = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0x77, 0x77, 0x77);
$font = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
ImageTTFText ($im, 35, 90, 40, 230, $font, "macropsi.ttf", "blablabla");
Imagepng ($im, "pic.png");
ImageDestroy ($im);
echo "<html><body><img src=\"pic.png\" border=0></body></html>";

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

I assume you have the GD libraries installed right?

Try this;

<?php 

header ("Content-type:  image/png" );
$im = imagecreate (50, 250); 
$bgcolor = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0x77, 0x77, 0x77); 
$font = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00); 
ImageTTFText ($im, 35, 90, 40, 230, $font, "./macropsi.ttf", "blablabla"); 
Imagepng ($im, "pic.png"); 
ImageDestroy ($im); 
echo "<html><body><img src=\"pic.png\" border=0></body></html>"; 

?>

You can also try to use your full paths for the .ttf font file.

I'm not real familair with this, so if anyone see's an error let us know..
